Month: June 2017

I get to drink at some wonderful places and write about them on this blog; the King’s Head, Boar’s Head and North Riding are going to make June’s Pub of the Month selection as tough as the 1994 Matt le Tissier Goal of the Year contest. They were all overdue revisits, and finding new… Continue reading 10pm, “TABLE TABLE”, NEWARK

A walk in… Continue reading LITTLEPORT – BEER FIT FOR BEER BATTER

A welcome return of Mrs RM to the blog tonight, for an instant recap on our 25th Wedding Anniversary celebrations. Nothing like sentimental gush. I can see you thinking we chose the Wetherspoons in Letchworth Garden City because I had a CAMRA voucher to get rid of before the end of June. That would be true.… Continue reading TROUBLE AT T’SPOONS
